Wave Without A Shore

OTOH, clean bill of health. Happy dance.

We haven't done this often enough. Jane and I took off for a 200 mile drive to Missoula MT and Ruby's Inn, where we got a lovely room by the streamside, and had a nice breakfast pre-paid in the room charge, sausage, biscuits and gravy, corned beef hash, scrambled...

Seems as if the antiinflammatory (simple Advil) was what it needed. Kudos to the doc, who alas, has now left the clinic for another place, wherever that is. But I'm starting to feel secure on stairs again, as in, normal. That's a good thing. I hate it when I lose time...

Ordinarily WE do it...but when the pipe in question is the house water supply, connected to the city water supply, in our basement---we call the guys with the really big pipe wrenches and the knowledge. 300.00 later we have a new 5 dollar part installed: a 'bleeder...
